"Turn Out the Stars II" on Night Lights

[ghost of miles]

This Memorial Day weekend on Night Lights we present a sequel to last May’s program, “Turn Out the Stars,” with more jazz elegies written or performed for musicians who passed away. This year’s broadcast includes Albert Ayler’s appearance at John Coltrane’s 1967 funeral, a teenaged Lee Morgan’s recording of “I Remember Clifford” (composed by Benny Golson for Clifford Brown) followed by Roy Campbell’s “I Remember Lee,” Jeanne Lee and Mal Waldron’s take on Charles Mingus’ “Goodbye Porkpie Hat,” and a previously-unknown Joe Zawinul composition that surfaced just in the past year—“Requiem for a Jazz Musician,” recorded by Cannonball Adderley in 1966. “Turn Out the Stars II” airs Saturday, May 27 at 11:05 p.m. EST on WFIU and at 9 p.m. Central Time on WNIN-Evansville. You can listen to the first “Turn Out the Stars” from May 28, 2005 in the Night Lights archives, where "Turn Out the Stars II" will be posted Tuesday afternoon.

Next week: "Detour Ahead: Mary Ann McCall."

Note to western Michigan listeners in the Lower Peninsula: beginning June 4, you can hear Night Lights every Sunday evening at 10 p.m. EST on Blue Lake Public Radio, immediately following Lazaro Vega's Sunday-night program.

Have a great holiday weekend!
